But I still don't want you to die...

To be honest, this is not a movie that attracted me by its title. The name "Meet on Tuesday" is like some old and clichéd literary film, maybe it doesn't make me feel too much, until I start watching this movie. At that time, my whole person was attracted and moved. In my opinion, the biggest success of this movie is the casting of a very suitable actor. The image of Professor Murray from the beginning makes you feel that he is a warm and open-minded old man, so that when ALS is so rare and uncommon When the cruel disease happened to him, you could still feel a kind of warmth. Just like the name of this disease, in fact, everyone has "suffered" from this disease from birth. We are all born to die, and life is the continuous reduction of life expectancy, so that one day you completely say goodbye to this disease, it takes a long time A world that was hard to get acquainted with. Professor Murray said that when you know how you will die, you know how to live. Most of the confusion in life arises from your ignorance of the future. In fact, we often overlook one of the most essential things is that we will die. will face death. The overall melody of this film is actually not sad. What it wants to express is an open-minded exploration of death and the meaning of life. However, as a viewer, I have always felt very depressed. When watching the movie, I was like the protagonist Mickey. I always felt pain and reluctance about Morrie's dying, but I continued to learn how to live a good life from Morrie's open-mindedness and optimism. Professor Morrie Like a candle that still radiated the light of a teacher at the last moment of his life. At the end of the film, when Morrie is lying on the recliner and staring out the raining window, I can still see the reluctance to live and the fear of death in his eyes. Maybe each of us will be like him in the end, thinking about it but fearing death from the bottom of our heart. I think only those who are always full of love for life, and only those who always want to continue to live, can understand how wonderful life is, and then have the opportunity to find the meaning of their life. When everyone grows old, we have to compromise with life and we must be prepared to face something, but this is easier said than done. Death is the biggest uncertainty in life, and no one can truly face it calmly. But when Morrie saw Mickey smile again, I felt a little relief in the continued depression, I think he had figured it out and tried to accept this ending, he was happier than I thought, and mine Sadness may just come from my own understanding and understanding. At the end of the film, Mickey and Morrie had the last conversation. Mickey said he still didn't want Morrie to die. He listened to Morrie so much but still didn't know how to say goodbye, but Morrie told him that death was over. It's a life, not a relationship. When I saw this, I really began to understand how to say goodbye, just like some experiences that happened to me before, I also went to see my grandma who had cancer once a week, and every time I was afraid that it was the last goodbye, until the goodbye was real. When the day comes, everything is not as painful as we imagined, and it is easier for us to accept a fait accompli rather than a process. "Meet on Tuesday" is another movie I watched after "Bucket List" to teach people how to face death. Death is always the most heavy topic people talk about. We don't talk about it because of its unknown, because of The grief and regret it may bring, we will spend our whole life to explore its meaning, just like some lessons mentioned at the end take a lifetime to learn, "how to face death" is such a lesson. It's a powerful film, with a lot of talk and discussion like "Worry about aging, you know what that means? A life without meaning", and it's rewarding when you immerse yourself in it.
